ZURICH, Switzerland (AP:
AFTER ALL the Olympic hoopla, Usain Bolt said yesterday he just wants to get back to his day job. Running fast.
"Track and field is my job. This is what I do, I work," Bolt told reporters in Zurich, where he races for the first time since Beijing in the 100 metres tomorrow.
"Right now I'm just trying to get my blood pumping pretty much. I've been doing a little bit of training and just looking forward to the meeting," Bolt said.
The new Olympic champion and world record holder at 100 and 200 metres landed in Switzerland on Monday, direct from China for the first of three European meets before he can head back to an inevitable hero's welcome in Jamaica.
